About Andrew
Andrew Armstrong is a counsellor who uses a practical, person-centred approach to help people facing emotional strain. He draws on several therapy methods to support people through stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. He works with straightforward language and short, focused sessions to make talking easier.
With four years of professional experience and BACP registration, Andrew aims to meet people where they are. He encourages clients to lead the conversation while offering tools to manage difficult feelings.
Background and approach
That might mean learning simple thinking skills, noticing patterns in relationships, or practising mindful acceptance of painful thoughts. Sessions are shaped around the client’s goals. Andrew blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-focused listening to match what each person needs.
He often uses emotion-focused exercises to help people notice and name their feelings, then find practical steps forward. He supports people working through relationship strain, parenting stress, family tensions, anger, and life transitions like separation or loss. Additional concerns he helps with include body image, codependency, guilt, and issues tied to family of origin.
The emphasis is on clear, manageable strategies rather than jargon. Appointments are offered in English and run online by phone, video, chat or messaging. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, preferences and goals, and together decide which methods to use. Sessions often mix approaches so that practical thinking tools sit alongside emotion-focused listening and acceptance practices.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video gives visual connection for emotion-focused work, phone can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited, while chat and messaging suit quick reflections or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life, and allow registered or accredited professionals to deliver consistent support across different formats.
